A workshop is being conducted to help define the major issues in the effort to address technological literacy at the undergraduate level. Topics of discussion include: identification of successful implementations, obstacles to courses on technology, learning objectives and student outcomes, relevant assessment tools and techniques, strategies for developing a scholarly community in the area, potential means of stimulating growth of interest in the topic, implementation in different types of institutions including community colleges, perspectives and issues concerning women, underrepresented minorities, and considerations regarding inclusion of persons with disabilities. The intellectual merit of this work stems from furthering an understanding of the how to promote technological literacy among undergraduate students. Broader impacts to society will result by the workshop having a direct influence on the ability of undergraduate education to contribute to the development of a technically literate citizenry. A report summarizing the findings of the workshop is being prepared and will be disseminated widely.

正在举办一个讲习班，以帮助确定在大学一级解决技术扫盲问题的努力中的主要问题。讨论主题包括：确定成功的实施情况、技术课程的障碍、学习目标和学生成果、相关的评估工具和技术、发展该领域学术界的战略、激发对该专题兴趣的潜在手段、在包括社区学院在内的不同类型机构中的实施情况、有关妇女、代表性不足的少数群体的观点和问题，以及关于包容残疾人的考虑。这项工作的智力价值源于进一步了解如何提高本科生的技术素养。 研讨会将直接影响本科教育为培养具有技术素养的公民做出贡献的能力，从而对社会产生更广泛的影响。 目前正在编写一份总结讲习班结果的报告，并将广为散发。
